I am not sure, if your comment was ment seriously, since you probably know 
that there is a good collection at apps.kde.com ;-) (BTW - apps.kde.com is 
great. Congrats!)
There is linuxforkids.org with a lot of software, but I recently heard, that 
some of the listed apps don't work, which is acceptable to developers, but 
not to schools. annma tested some of them, you can read the reports at 
http://women.kde.org/projects/reviews/edutainment.html

this weeks report:

On a linux congress I recently met 2 people involved in school projects. One 
was a professor from France: Bernard Lang (European Union Initiatives for 
Evolution and Consolidation of the Use of Free Software) and the other one 
was José Neif (Pepe) from the mexican school project. 
Bernard told me, that they have big problems with linux in France, because 
the companies making the school software refuse to make versions for linux 
too. So if we can provide apropiate kde apps, that would probably help a lot. 
If it is needed, I can establish a contact to these people.

Yes, that sounds very interesting.
